In 2024, using social media felt worse than ever

Summary

Nutrition label

60% Informative

Social media platforms were in theory designed around ideas of friendship and connection, but what’s playing out on them today couldn’t feel further from genuine human interaction.

The Word of the Year for 2024 is “brain rot,” a term that expresses the supposed consequence of countless hours spent on the internet consuming stupid stuff.

Threads doesn’t have DMs, meaning all conversations take place in public.

Mastodon and Bluesky are less populated but have a cliqueier feel.

The feed is otherwise dominated by viral videos that are ripped off from other creators without credit and pop culture commentary that almost always devolves into sex- and genderism.
